When out spraying this afternoon and when I stopped to fill the round up level in my tank didn't drop

Everything on the viper screen is normal so I run the prime and the motor is running but only once I got a bit out otherwise nothing, my screen is clean, pulled the plug next to the inlet and it came pouring out.

Anyone run into this? I am going to pull it off and take it apart, just seeing if anyone else has run into this, thing always makes me a bit nervous but it has always been spot on until today

Should add that it is the sidekick pro

Good news! I found the problem! And I might have one on the smaller older one on my drill for N-Serve witch I am not using at the moment.




Ok I hope this helps someone out in the future, it is a very simple pump and it looks as an intake valve was improperly installed from the get go.


I don't know how to put a post next to each pic but I will explain as best I can. when I pulled the housing apart I noticed right away looking into the intake port something looked strange, finished getting the other side off and things looked right so I pulled the intake valve in suspicion and sure enough it looks as when it was originally installed that it was cocked in its bore. I pulled the opposite side out and all looked great. I was going to pull out the exhaust valves to just have a peek and by accident I pulled the intake valve I just inspected out again and upon putting it back in I noticed that there was a piece of the other intake valve stuck inside of it that was actually what caused it to stop working in the first place.
It is hard to see the piece that is stuck in the valve but I snapped a pic of the piece itself and pointed the screwdriver to where it came from.
